recursion - Stack Over Flow Error When generating form dynamically in android -

i have class creating views dynamically json.as follows

class widget{ public static view createedittext(context ctx,string hint,string hint_color,string text_color,string bg_color,string input_type,linearlayout.layoutparams params){         edittext et=new edittext(ctx);         et.sethint(hint);         if(input_type.equals("password")){             et.settransformationmethod(passwordtransformationmethod.getinstance());         }else             if(input_type.equals("email")){                 et.setinputtype(inputtype.type_text_variation_email_address);             }else                 if(input_type.equals("number")){                     et.setinputtype(inputtype.type_class_number);                 }else if(input_type.equals("text")){                     et.setinputtype(inputtype.type_class_text);                 }else if(input_type.equals("date")){                     et.setinputtype(inputtype.type_class_datetime);                 }         et.settextcolor(color.parsecolor(text_color));         et.sethinttextcolor(color.parsecolor(hint_color));         et.setbackgroundcolor(color.parsecolor(bg_color));         et.setlayoutparams(params);         return et;     } } 

like have more methods remaining views label & button etc.when call these methods activity, throwing stack on flow error

else if (container.getview_type().equals("textfield")) {         if(container.getweight() == 0.0){             ll.addview(widget.createedittext(getactivity(), container.getview_hint(), container.gethint_color(), container.getcolor_text(), container.getcolor_bg(), container.getinputtype(), setparams(container.getwidth(), container.getheight(),container.getmargins())));         }else{             ll.addview(widget.createedittext(getactivity(), container.getview_hint(), container.gethint_color(), container.getcolor_text(), container.getcolor_bg(), container.getinputtype(), setparams(container.getwidth(), container.getheight(),container.getmargins(),container.getweight())));         }     } 

my log follows

i'm calling same method creating each view.as have switch case in that, checking view type & calling same method.can suggest me in right way.any great full.thank in advance.

edit 1: createform code :
